PyTables is a Free Software solution that brings together Python, HDF5 and NumPy to enable you to efficiently and easily handle extremely large amounts of data.

This video explains how to work with tables, PyTables' main data container. It shows how to describe the structure of a table, how to create a table, iterate over it and access it by blocks, how to handle big tables and how to perform a query on a table.

Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education
and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source
world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or
improve the software tends to be deferred or even
sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role
here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make
our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a
programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make
a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you
wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would
have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to
help you. You can
emailus for
advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site.
This
screencasting learning-pathis a
good place to start.

CLUB SHOWMEDO

Are you learning Python? To keep the site running clean and ad-free we've started Club ShowMeDo. The club will allow you access to some special videos we're making to pass on programming skills we consider important to the development and enjoyment of Free Open Source Software (FOSS).

The focus at the moment is on developing with the Python programming language, one of the backbones of the FOSS movement with a huge number of included and third-party libraries.
